Beer in Venues for 2.50 and 3.00

Simply due to my proclivity towards imbibing in ethnic specific places, I have, basically a map of places where one can find beer for under 4.00.

This may be part of a future anti-gentrified essay or article. I dig drinking with people who defy modernity, especially, that brand of modernity found in advanced capitalistic faux-democratic countries such as our own.

Of course, one would have to enjoy specific music, such as soaka music and Bollywood pop.

the photo is Trini dark beer, and a plate of chicken gizzards and hearts (not in photo) and a duck dish a friend ordered (in photo). Lefferts region.

The match up was good, it excelled at creating happiness and contentment, the results of superior tastes in the mouth region.

"a wheat beer or two at Sripraphai on Roosevelt."

I have been to the Thai grocer just across the street from this venue.

I reserve wheat beer for either the home, or the bar, without food, or the eating venue with German, Austrian, Hungarian, or Polish food.

Since deciding to begin to disregard my years prior moratorium on eating Thai in the US, I have found nothing so exciting in Thai dishes here, and am re- instituting the moratorium.

So, I will happily go to Sripraphai and drink many Wheat beers, absent of any dishes.

My last Thai eating session was Dee. I loved the atmosphere, and staff, too, but the dishes did not inspire me to eat more Thai.

Very well. I find Thai places in the US excellent venues for imbibing a few to large quantities of beer. They are also ideal places for long sits with leaf (w/o bag) tea, to engage in reading material of ones choosing.

Now I know where to find Wheat beer, when I am in and around Roosevelt.

Thanks. I look forward to discovering the exact type of wheat beer they have. Yummy. Could it be American Craft wheat....or one of the many nice German imports.

Wheats go well with Thai food for the same reason they match german food well: the spices. German sausages are very nicely spiced and well-paired with german wheat beers AND with local riesling and gewurztraminer wines.

No surprise that this exact beverage line-up (wheat beers, rieslings & gewurztraminers) are the perfect match for Thai food. Sripraphai has a BYOB friendly policy, used to be free but last I checked they were asking $10 or 15 corkage on wine, not sure if they'd charge to bring in beer.

I wouldn't bet you can actually find the beer over there (or the best selection), better to buy at a well-stocked store near you then transport it there to be sure.

There is hope. I walked by Playground, the restaurant recommended by all the Thai waitresses, at Thai places where they dissuade me from ordering the food, due to my inquiry as to its authenticity.

I will go there. When I popped in, there were only Thai people dining.

Like the Yemeni place I was in last night. All Yemeni people, save for a white couple who know more truths then most know, about ethnic dining.

I went there for the other ethnic place I was in, is marketed for people outside that particular ethnic group, and I was seated with all middle class, advanced capitalist subjectively indoctrinated hyper-capitalism consciousness individuals. (see habermas)

Sripraphai is not on Roosevelt and they do not serve wheat beer either....OP has already stated in previous threads that he thinks Thai food in NYC is part of some large scam that he has cracked and that craft beer is also a marketing scam perpetrated by Madison Avenue.

I have yet to be pleased with any restaurant's Thai dishes anywhere in the continental United States.

But I am more than happy to take to some Chang Beer, usually on special in some places for $2 a bottle. I also love the atmospheres of some thai places, and take leaf tea, with long sits for reading. Better than Starbucks.

And when you are all Caffeine-ed up, and have read much, you can stay in the same venue, kick back, and drink beer.

That map is classified. I think that it is my duty or anyone else, to avoid flooding such quaint places with troves of hipstered, lumbering groups devoid of anything but the looks of claymation, migrant fowl, bug infestations, and ecumenical clergy.

that is sort of a joke....but, I have to consult with my cartographer....
